Contact lenses are a safe form of vision correction if you follow the proper care and wearing instructions provided by the doctor. The consequences of improper hygiene in caring for your contact lenses may be dangerous.

Soft Contact Lenses

Soft contact lenses provide good vision and comfort for problems such as nearsightedness and farsightedness. There are specialty soft contact lenses designed for astigmatism and presbyopia.

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Contact Lenses

RGP or hard contact lenses are more durable and provide sharper vision than soft lenses in some cases such as corneal irregularities or scars. However RGP lenses take longer to adjust to them than soft lenses.

Hybrid Contact Lenses

SynergEyes Duette and Multifocal hybrid contact lenses offer the best of both worlds, comfort of a soft lens and clear vision of a gas permeable lens. The soft skirt of the hybrid lens provides all-day comfort while the "breathable" rigid center keeps eyes healthy and provides consistent, crisp, clear vision during the day and at night. They are a good solution for a variety of conditions, including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, presbyopia, keratoconus, and other irregular cornea conditions.

Teens & Contacts

There is no age limit to wearing contact lenses; however, you must be responsible enough to care for your contact lenses. Contact lenses are also better for sports than glasses.

Contact Lenses for Presbyopia

Presbyopia is an age-related condition starting at about age 40 where people start to lose the ability to see up close. This condition can be corrected with contact lenses using monovision and bifocal contact lenses. Monovision means wearing a contact lens for near vision on one eye and a lens for distance vision on the other eye. Just like bifocal glasses, bifocal contact lenses provide adequate vision for all distances with both eyes.
